THE 8.3. A—IT A V OURITE WITH MILI. TART DISPATCH RIDERS-AND WHY. It has sometimes been said, with , Uu , truth, that the business test is tli," test of any motor. War is tho grib'. business of mankind, and the mil; ul "ry motor-cyclist stakes hie life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Here is'what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., senior instructor of the Motor-cyole Sec.tion at Aldershot, has to say:—"Nearly every dispatch rider that ha 3 gone to the front has passed through my hands, and I am therefore in a position to judge how the different -makes of machine aro in favour. The B.S.A. is by far away the favourite, and it has yet to happen that a B.S.A. has failed to act up to its well-earned repute. ... I may state that 50 per cent, of the machines here are B.S.A.'s." A .motor-cyclist with the Seoond Cavalry Division, British Expeditionary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads are hellish'. ... My B.S.A. is the goods. I nover have to touch it. They are the bikes, ray boy. They knock the and any other make you like to mention into a oookod hat." There are plenty of other letters from the front, all to the same effect. We ore landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlboroueh this week, and can give immediate delivery. , They aro ideal machines for either solo or 6ide-car service, and their reliability is famous. The h.p. is 4}, and the three-speed countershaft gear is foolproof and wonderfully efficient.
